Essays
9 November 2026
Somatic cell nuclear transfer.
The laboratory method behind every clone we produce: how a donor cell's nucleus and an egg combine, and what happens between fusion and birth.
2 November 2026
Genetic testing, from a banked sample.
How genetic testing works once a cell line is banked: parentage, heritable conditions and ancestry, run without disturbing the animal.
22 September 2026
Prices in full: what cell banking and cloning cost.
A complete, unrounded account of what Reem Bio charges for cell banking, cryostorage, genetic testing, and cloning, and what drives each figure.
8 September 2026
Moving countries with a banked line.
What happens to a banked cell line when an owner relocates: what stays put, what travels, and how a mirrored vault removes most of the difficulty.
25 August 2026
Preservation for breeders: bloodlines, not individuals.
How breeders use cell banking differently from single-animal owners: preserving bloodlines across generations, with genetic testing and consultation as needed.
4 August 2026
What a vault certificate certifies.
A line-by-line reading of the Reem Bio vault certificate: what its fields mean, what its rosette proves, and what it deliberately does not claim.
14 July 2026
Surrogates: how they are chosen and cared for.
How a surrogate mother is selected, screened and cared for in a cloning pregnancy, and what her welfare has to do with a client's outcome.
1 July 2026
Cloning is a genetic twin, not a return.
What cloning an animal actually produces: a genetic twin with the same DNA, not the same memories or character. The science, and why honesty matters.
9 June 2026
Falcons and the limits of cloning.
Why falcons and other birds are preserved but not cloned at Reem Bio, and what avian genetics can offer instead.
21 May 2026
Stem cells and PRP for dogs.
A plain look at stem cell and PRP therapy for dogs: what veterinarians prescribe them for, how outcomes vary, and how banking supports both.
16 April 2026
Cell banking for Arabian horses.
Straight answers for Arabian horse breeders on banking a line, mirroring vaults, and what cloning and preservation cost and do not promise.
2 April 2026
Preserving a racing camel's genome.
How camel owners in the Gulf preserve a champion's genome: farm biopsies, culture, two-site storage, parentage testing and cloning timelines.
31 March 2026
Fibroblasts: the cell we culture, and why.
Nearly every cell line we bank is made of fibroblasts. Here is what these cells are, why skin is the tissue of choice, and what fibroblasts can and cannot become.
12 March 2026
What a growth record shows you.
Behind every banked cell line sits a growth record: passage counts, doubling times, viability figures. Here is how to read one and what it can and cannot tell you.
24 February 2026
Why we store every line in two cities.
Every cell line Reem Bio banks is split and mirrored across two of our laboratories. Here is the reasoning behind that structure, and what it costs and protects.
3 February 2026
The first 72 hours after a death.
What happens, biologically, after an animal dies, and what a family or veterinarian can realistically do in the window before a biopsy stops being useful.
14 January 2026
How long do frozen cells last?
What we actually know about the lifespan of cryopreserved cells at −196 °C, what we don't, and why storage discipline matters more than the number.
5 January 2026
What a cell line is, and why it matters.
A plain explanation of cell lines: how a small biopsy becomes living cells, how they are frozen at −196 °C, and why that matters for your animal.
